Historical dates for Free Dining?????

[princess-rn]

What is the history on free dining dates? It lookes like they are still releasing one every quarter but I can't keep up with the dates. I've searched but been unable to find the info. We are projecting going at the end of May 2013. Has this been a "free dining" time in the past?

Thanks!!!!

Keep in mind that the Mousesavers data does not list the blackout dates for each promo. It is a good guide for when the promos are released, though. I believe FD for May is generally by PIN code only.

yes, thanks for pointing that out! I figured it would give her a good starting point.

Thanks so much!!!!! This is exactly what I needed! I wish they would do the 7 days for the price of 4 promo again. We took advantage of that one way back!

We had free dinning May of 2011. The last week of May. I am hoping for it again this year.

thanks for that link.....

Traditionally by now they have offered free dining for Jan 1- Feb 1....this has been issued by this time in August....does that mean they won't be having that this year or is it possibly going to be offered later? I just made my reservations today and there was no free dining but she said it would be easy to change it if it is offered?????

Does anyone know if this is a possibility? It would save us a HUGE amount of money!

Last year's release was a surprise. It was way earlier than usual. I expect the Jan-March FD to come out anytime between Sept-Nov. Hang in there!

Do you by any chance remember the dates the offer became available and was it avaiable the third week in May.Thanks, planning our first family trip and feeling nervous that the minute I book I am going to think I should have picked different dates.

I think it was the last week of May. We went part of that last week through the first week of June.

I was shocked that they did offer it that week though, b/c usually there doesn't seem to be deals during that time period.

I'm not holding my breath for it again this year, but it would be nice.
